As you may or may not know, BenQ is one of the world's most important developers and manufacturers of various display solutions, most of which, however, are designed mainly as computer accessories rather than for home entertainment. So, it is offering a full range of LCD monitors, as well as a whole range of mainstream and business projectors.

Quite recently, we've had the chance to get close and personal with one of the most advanced such devices the company has produced, namely the SP920 installation projector, a monster of a device clearly targeting the business environment, whether we're talking about its features or its fairly high price point. And to tell you the truth, it was quite a “hot” experience, both due to just how well this thing behaves in pretty much any conditions (either movie watching, gaming or presentations) and the level of heat it generates, which is certainly a problem, especially when used in a confined environment.

However, the thing is that this device, which arrived on the market in mid-2008, has not been designed for small spaces. No, the SP920 is meant to be setup in a big room (such an auditorium hall, or something similar – hence, the two lamps), where users will be able to exploit its full potential. Otherwise, if you place it in a small room and use it at half capacity (you'll see a little later what we mean by that), you'll probably never get to enjoy its most important features.

Given these facts, we've tried to tackle this test more or less from the point of view of a business user, who purchases the SP920 for carrying out presentations for a fairly large number of a people, at a company's headquarters. However, after the presentation is over, this thing can also be used for watching a movie (providing a little R&R for the people attending the respective meeting) or even for playing some games (although this latest option is fairly unlikely to occur, we've also given it a thought), if you've got a computer or gaming console laying around.
